Teresa Giudice Breaks Down Over Legal Woes: Worried For Daughters

In a preview of her ‘Watch What Happens Live’ interview (airing on Sept. 29) Teresa finally gave fans the lowdown on her recent legal troubles, revealing her biggest fears and almost breaking down in tears as she faces a possible 50-year jail sentence. Watch the clip below!

Teresa Giudice, 41, and Joe Giudice, 41, sat down with Andy Cohen, 45, to talk about their legal tie-ups for an upcoming Sept. 29 Watch What Happens Live interview. The Jersey housewife gave Andy the scoop on her fraud charges – and it was not the Teresa you’re use to seeing!

Teresa Giudice Cries On ‘Watch What Happens Live’

Get the tissues ready! Whether your Team Melissa or Team Teresa, the troubled housewife’s recent legal woes will have you shaken up. In a clip of this week’s WWHL interview, the usually worry-free Teresa cracks as she tearfully lays out all the details on her recent fraud charges to Andy.

But it’s not exactly the possible 50-year jail sentence that has her really worked up.

“I have my daughters. I mean, they mean the world to me,” the mom of four explained.

The mother of Gia, 12, Gabriella, 9, Milania, 6, and Audriana, 3, fears for their futures. Reports previously claimed that Teresa would go “crazy” if her sister-in-law Melissa Gorga, 34, gained custody of her daughters, so that might explain why the Jersey star is finally breaking down. She later explained why that the only reason she’s kept so calm about the situation is her little girls.

“Maybe something my daughters can learn from this is, my mom was really strong through all this, she was there for us, and I hope they always have that there with them,” she tearfully told Andy.

There’s no doubt her daughters will having the doting mom’s back. You got this, Tre!

Joe Giudice Not As Worried

An emotional Teresa didn’t exactly make her hubby Joe have a tearful moment though. Instead, ‘Juicy Joe’ chose to make light of the situation, jokingly telling Andy the couple face up to 100 years in jail.

Joe’s take on the situation unsurprisingly didn’t pull any laughs from Andy and especially not from Teresa, who nudged him and rolled her eyes. She corrected him and confirmed it’s “only” 50 years (each).

The full interview airs this Sunday, Sept. 29, at 8 p.m. ET after The Real Housewives of New Jersey season finale.
